Jewelry Halppppp

Evening all,

I've found some HD jewelry I actually like and was looking at purchasing, however the reviews on the jewelry across the board seems very hit or miss. Some items almost exclusively have poor reviews (clasps breaking, jewelry discoloring skin or finish wearing off quickly, etc) while other items have almost exclusively good reviews. I've searched the corners of the mighty interwebs and just really can't find clear answers or consistent reviews. Was curious if anyone on here has bought HD branded jewelry (specifically mens') over the last year or so and how has it held up?

Help - Primary Noise

Looking for some help on this - I’ve got an 08 Heritage Classic and I just finished replacing the starter clutch with an All Balls starter clutch. Only thing now is during shutdown the bike has a couple rattles coming from the primary case. Is my compensator going bad? Or did I potentially mess up something when I put my starter back together? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Franklin Mint Collector Plates

Good afternoon, everyone! My dad recently gave me some Harley Davidson collectors dinner plates that he had on his walls for many years, and he mentioned that he never did get the whole set. The backs all say "The Franklin Mint Heirloom Recommendation", and all have plate numbers. They're all signed by a couple different artists, though "Dean Fleming" is the only one I can make out. I think another is "Scott Jacobs", but I'm not sure. I have 9 plates, and my dad seemed to think there were only a total of 10 or 11, but I was wondering if anyone knows for sure? I've tried googling it but can't seem to find anything concrete. I may also just be bad at researching things like this. These are the plates I have:

  • "94 Special"
  • "1957 Sportster"
  • "1958 Duo-Glide"
  • "Harley-Davidson Heritage Softail Classic"
  • "49 Panhead"
  • "1990 Fatboy"
  • "The Iron Stinger"
  • "1936 Knucklehead"
  • "1968 Electra-Glide"

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you all in advance, it'd be nice to maybe work on trying to complete the set.

Edited because I forgot to write one of the plates

Can someone explain what the issues is with twin cam 88 engines and the frame on pre-Rushmore models? And how serious/pricey they are?

rev range 114

what is the bottom of the rev range you want to be in on a 114 in a 22 fat bob? and at what rpm to you want to shift up for general cruising? has a redline at 6.

this is my first bike with this type of low rev motor so im not sure how low is too on the rpm.

Any way to clean these forks up?

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make these look better. Everything i have tried so far has let me down. They're on an ultra classic if that makes any difference. Thank everyone in advance.

Just bought an 08 Electra and now it won’t 2 hours later, out of ideas

This morning I rode hour and 45 mins to pick this bike up and I loved it. Ran great, sounded great, no issues until now.

I made the drive back with no issues Stopped to get gas, no issues Stopped by my dads house, no issues Sat around talking and checking it out for 10-15 mins, started it up to let him hear it and had no issues

30 minutes later I get on it to leave, turn the ignition on and get nothing. No lights, no clicks, no fuel pump prime, nothing. Checked the battery and had 12.6 volts, checked the terminals everything was tight, checked the main fuse and had 12.6 in and out of it. All fuses are good but no power to the ignition fuse. I can’t figure out why it started multiple times with no signs of issue and then after just sitting there for half an hour and it won’t do anything?
